A Fabulous Give-Away for Favorite Things Saturday and to celebrate 300+ followers

Ashley @ CSN stores has generously offered to give one my lucky readers a 16 piece Pfaltzgraff Evening Sun Dinnerware set!   I love this gorgeous set and also thought it would be a good way to celebrate my 300+ followers.  CSN stores has an amazing amount of high quality merchandise!  I had a chance this morning to check out many of their stores.  I have been looking for new sofas and they have a huge selection to choose from.





Now on to the give-away!!! 
One of my lucky readers will receive this 16 piece Pfaltzgraff Dinnerware Set.  Wouldn't this look fabulous on a summer table! 

I am going to give you three chances to win!


1.  Leave me a comment  for 1 chance.


2.  If you are a follower or would like to become one, leave me a 2nd comment for 2 chances to win.

3.  For a 3rd chance to win, place it on your sidebar with a link back to my blog and then let me know with a 3rd comment.   My blog URL is http://applestonecottage.blogspot.com/


This give-away will run until the end of Thursday, May 13th.  I will use the random number generator and announce the lucky winner on Friday, May 14th.

And since give-aways are one of my Favorite Things, I am linking this post to Laurie's Favorite Things Saturday!






Have a great week-end everyone!!
And Happy Mothers Day!
Cindy

We always manage to find cute or silly things that play the song and it almost always has Sunflowers on it.One time it was a dancing plastic sunflower,another time it was one of those lil gift wrapped boxes covered in sunflowers that plays the tune.Funny the things that bring meaning over the years.:0)
